Book Synopsis

Is Scottish independence incompatible with ‘Labour values’?
Are ‘Labour values’ being realised within the Union?
How much really divides Yes campaigners from Labour voters?

Why Not? Scotland, Labour and Independence is a passionate and often personal appeal to Labour voters (and other progressive Scots) to consider the social, economic and political gains that could be won with Scottish self-government. Bringing together a range of diverse voices – some from within the Labour Party, some from within the SNP, some from the non-aligned Left – it presents the social justice case for a Yes vote and argues that independence offers the clearest route forward for socialist and centre-left Scotland.

Urgent, original and provocative, Why Not? is a vital contribution to the independence debate – and essential reading for all Scots.
